The OGC Nice team will challenge the Lyon team in a Matchday 3 French Ligue 1 in Allianz Riviera Stadium, Nice on Sunday, August 27, 2023. For streaming coverage of OGC Nice vs Lyon, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Nice will host Lyon at the Allianz Riviera stadium in the third week of the French Ligue 1. This was an opportunity for Nice to pull off a huge upset against struggling Lyon.
Lyon are going through the worst times in their history. They have lost six in a row since the summer of 2023 until now, including twice in Ligue 1 this season. They are not only lacking in sharpness in front of goal, but also very vulnerable at the back.
In the upcoming match, Lyon will also be unable to play their main striker and captain Alexandre Lacazette due to suspension.
On the other hand, Nice had a pretty good start to the season with two draws. This is a good achievement for a team that has just changed coaches and is still in the process of adapting. Nice have played well at home and have often troubled Lyon when they met at the Allianz Riviera. They have won over Lyon in six of the last eight encounters.
Francesco Farioli – Nice’s new coach – is new to French football, but he has proved his worth while coaching teams in Turkey. He will bring a fresh and creative playing style to Nice.
Nice have only lost two players through injury, namely Antoine Mendy and Alexis Claude-Maurice, but they still have an effective combination of Sofiane Diop, Gaetan Laborde and Terem Moffi in attack. They have also always scored the first goal in the last two matches in Ligue 1.
Lyon travels to Nice headquarters with very limited strength. They lost goalkeeper Anthony Lopes and defender Dejan Lovren, Clinton Mata through injury. What’s more, Lyon’s attack line lacks sniper Alexandre Lacazette due to suspension.
With the latest current conditions, including being very weak when playing away, Lyon is likely to lose three important points tonight. However, even though Lyon is in a slump, Nice is also not playing too well. It is estimated that the hosts will dominate tonight’s game.
